Future Ideas

Here are some brainstormed ideas for the app, that may need more discussion with the community. If you want to implement one of these ideas feel free to start a discussion about this on AnitaB.org Open Source Zulip!

IdeaDescription
Build an App with a hybrid frameworkUse a framework like flutter to build a version of this app, to embrace both Android and iOS platforms
Web platformBuild a web version of the app. Or integrate this with an existing one, e.g.: VMS
Report violationsReport Member violations of Code of Conduct
Third party apps authenticationAuthenticate using Slack, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc
Meetings schedulingCreate Meetings between members or two users in a relation. Possibly integration with Google Calendar
Messaging chatInstant Messaging for Mentor and Mentee to talk to each other, during or before the mentorship relation starts
Gamification feedbackWhen a mentor or mentee reach an achievement together, being an item from a checklist, they can receive feedback in the form of points, or just congratulation messages
NotificationsPush Notifications; Email and in-app notifications; Notifications about new mentorship requests or acceptances, new items added to the list of resources, new achievements
Shared resourcesA mentor can share resources such as links to websites, pdfs, google docs. There can be a screen dedicated to these items
TutorialA tutorial screen, explaining what a user can do in the app, in its first login in the app would be helpful
Mentor and Mentee recommendationUsers can be recommended to each other according to their interests, skills, availability to mentor and be mentored
Mentorship Agreements from One Mentor to Many MenteesA mentor can mentor many mentee’s on one topic, at the same time… Group Mentoring (to be discussed: the initial idea is for the mentor to focus on one mentee only instead of sharing attention with many mentees)
